Should You Charter a Yacht From Florida to The Bahamas?

The answer is YES & NO; depending on time, budget, and Bahamas destination. These variables change with each yacht charter. So the real question is: How do you maximize your time while getting the most out of your budget?

These breathtaking islands are only a short distance from Florida, making them the ideal cruising destination for your next vacation or holiday. We can help you to plan and execute your perfect yachting vacation , avoiding some common pitfalls that many of our charter clients have fallen victim to.

In this article, we will discuss the best way to get to popular Bahama destinations when planning a yacht charter Bahamas vacation to ensure your vacation is nothing but smooth sailing.

Bimini, Bahamas

catamaran charter miami to bahamas

Yacht Charters from Fort Lauderdale or Miami To Bimini, Does it Make Sense?

The short answer is yes, you should leave Florida to Bimini. It rarely makes sense to meet your yacht in Bimini.

Bimini is an excellent choice for a charter destination leaving from South Florida especially Miami, it’s only 50 nautical miles away and easy to get to with straight shot across the Gulf Stream. The best time to cross the Gulf Stream is in the summer months when the water is calmer. It’s also stunningly beautiful.

If you’re chartering a motor yacht, it is possible to go from Miami to Bimini in under 3 hours, making a day trip a possibility. However, a day trip can be very cost inefficient, especially considering most of your day will be cruising across the gulf stream and not enjoying the beautiful Bahamian waters.

Find out more about luxury Miami yacht rentals so you can get a head start on your trip! CharterLux has plenty of yachts to choose from and can help you throughout the entire process.

We recommend a 3-day charter to get the most out of your trip.

Note: We do not recommend day trips on holidays when customs can be backed up.

Yacht Charters Abaco & Exuma Bahamas

catamaran charter miami to bahamas

Yacht Charter from Fort Lauderdale or Miami To Nassau

The answer is no, you shouldn’t charter a yacht from South Florida to the Bahamas (except Bimini), but the answer isn’t short.

If you’re looking to charter a yacht in the Bahamas for 7-10 days you most likely would be visiting the islands of the Abacos and Exumas. Most charter yachts depart from the capital of the Bahamas (Nassau) mainly for the reasons below.

Things to Consider When Chartering a Yacht From Florida to Bahamas:

Financial considerations.

Sales Tax – Sales tax in the Bahamas is 4% versus 7% in South Florida [Palm Beach County (West Palm Beach), Broward County (Fort Lauderdale) and Dade County (Miami)].

Price of Fuel – Fuel prices are around half the price in Florida than in the Bahamas.

Amount of Fuel – The amount of fuel the yacht will consume to get to the Bahamas & back to Florida could supersede the repositioning fee it will cost you to relocate the yacht.

Time – Miami to Nassau is 160nm, which means it would take one full day to arrive in Nassau, costing you a significant amount of money in fuel and wasted time cruising to your destination. The amount of time (money) it will take cruising to the Bahamas and back to Florida will most likely supersede the repositioning fee charged by the yacht owner and can take two days out of your Bahamas yacht charter.

Cost Savings Example:

  • 100ft+ yacht that charters for $50,000 a week ($7,142 a day)
  • Cruises 16knts @ 120gph fuel burn
  • 10hrs (each way) x 2 = 20hrs
  • 20hrs x120gph = 2,400gal
  • 2,400gal x $3.50gal (est.) = $8,400
  • Lose two days of time traveling open ocean that could be spent in the Abacos or Exumas – $7,142 a day x 2 =$14,284
  • $5,000 Repo fee (est.)
  • $8,400 fuel + $14,284 in charter time – $5,000 repo fee = $17,684 in savings!

Legal Considerations

Liability – Most yachts will have to charter off of a Demise/Bareboat charter agreement if departing from U.S. waters. Departing from Bahamian waters you can charter off of a Time Charter Agreement, limiting your liability as a charterer.

Vessel Status – Foreign flagged vessels that have not paid their U.S. duties by law cannot charter from U.S. waters.

Accessibility

Mother Nature– Weather can affect the amount of time it takes cruising to your destination. It’s never fun to sail through rough weather. Once you are in the Bahamas your captain should be able to alter your itinerary to best avoid rough seas.

International Airport– Nassau has an international airport which has direct flights from Fort Lauderdale and many more cites.

Ready to Experience the Yacht Charter Destination of Your Dreams?

Chartering a yacht from Florida to the Bahamas is a great idea, but make sure you follow our insider tips and tricks because we’ve been doing this for a very long time.

Heading out on the water without this knowledge can really set you back, both from a time and financial standpoint. If you want to make every hour of your vacation to the Bahamas count, and have the time of your life, you’ll want to keep our considerations in mind.

CharterLux brings you the friendliest service, the largest selection of yachts to choose from, and the knowledge and expertise of a locally owned and operated company that has been serving Florida and the Bahamas for years. Let us help you plan the vacation of your dreams and find that yacht charter from Florida to the Bahamas!

Charters from Miami to the Bahamas

catamaran charter miami to bahamas

We probably get one or two phone calls or emails a day from clients looking to get from Miami or Fort Lauderdale to “The Bahamas”. OK, let’s just forget for a minute that there are over 700 islands in the Bahamas and that yachts are the most expensive way to travel ANYWHERE. 

Nemesis power boat

1. The Bahamas group of Islands are some of the most beautiful in the world. Some of our favorites are the Exumas, the Abacos, the Out-Islands, Nassau (if you’re into cities, shopping and casinos), Freeport (if you’re into cities, shopping and casinos), Bimini, if you’re into sports-fishing, The Berry Islands if you’re in Miami and want total isolation to unwind for a few days, they are about 100 miles from Miami.

For in-depth information on the various islands please check our Bahamas section .

2. There is no ferry service from Miami or Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas at all. There is a small catamaran ferry service  that is called Balearia Express Ferries that leaves from Fort Lauderdale and goes to Freeport and back.

3. There are inter-island ferries and mail-boat services available once you get to the Bahamas, both private and government operated. They run on regular schedules but these schedules are approximate and they don’t run every day. You can go here for valuable information  regarding ferries in the Bahamas.

Bahamas Yacht anchored

Remember that although Bimini is only 40 miles from the mainland you have to cross the Gulf Stream which is notoriously treacherous when there is any kind of brisk wind. Bimini is a sports fishing center and there’s not much else to do except fishing.

A day trip to Bimini on a small or medium sized motor yacht can cost between $2k and $5K depending on the number of guests and the size of the boat. There is a 12 passenger maximum for most charter yachts. You can also fly to Bimini by air taxi.

5. Bareboat sailing in the Bahamas is limited to the Abacos, contact us for details .

6. When planning a sailing or yachting vacation in the Bahamas, it’s always better to fly into the island or group of islands you’d like to explore. For example, if you’d like to explore the Exumas, fly into Nassau or Staniel Cay and have the yacht pick you up there. If you’d like to explore the out islands fly into Georgetown. For the Abacos, fly into Marsh harbour.

DON’T use a charter yacht for transportation, private yachts are great for vacations but make lousy and expensive ferries.  DO use a yacht for a vacation experience, the beaches are marvelous and the diving superb.  Have a GREAT vacation.

Yacht Charters in Bimini Islands, Bahamas

Bimini Islands is our  most popular  and easy trip from Miami or Ft. Lauderdale, as you only need  1 or 2 days  to enjoy this beautiful island with luscious white beaches and turquoise blue waters. With only a 50-mile distance from Miami or a 3- to 4-hour boat ride away, it’s the perfect weekend getaway. Remember to bring food and drinks onboard for your entire stay, our crew will prepare and serve, while catering to you and your guests all the way. You may also ask us to take care of your provisions purchase and have it all prepared for you upon your arrival onboard.

  • Minimum duration: 2 days
  • Recommended: 3 days
  • Distance from Miami to Bimini: 3-4 hours (50 nautical miles) going 18-24 knots

catamaran charter miami to bahamas

Before starting your  private yacht charter to Bimini Island, The Bahamas , allow us to get you acquainted with this tiny but fascinating island. It’s divided in 3 small Islands: North, East, and South Bimini, with North and South Bimini being the largest. Also, the name is derived from these 2 Islands (Bi Mini).

The North side  is only 7 miles (11km) long and 700 feet (200m) wide. You only need a golf cart to move around and enjoy the shops, restaurants, and bars.

With only 182 people living on the South side you will encounter South Bimini Airport, a few small hotels, and private homes you can rent.  The island is famous for Big Game Fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling.

South Bimini  is more relaxing whereas  North Bimini has more activity  and is recommended by us. You have options of Marinas where to dock, from Bimini Big Game Marina to Resorts World Bimini Resort and Marina.

WHAT TO SEE & DO ON BIMINI ISLANDS, BAHAMAS

catamaran charter miami to bahamas

SCUBA DIVING AND SNORKELING AT SS SAPONA SHIPWRECK

The  SS Sapona Shipwreck  was a concrete cargo vessel built by Henry Ford during WWII. In 1926 it was destroyed by a hurricane. Today it still sits on the South side of Bimini Island, 3 miles from the shore. You can reach the Sapona shipwreck by your chartered boat and enjoy snorkeling reaching 20 feet deep. The beauty of the clear ocean makes it such a splendid landmark to enjoy a variety of sea fishes and sea creatures. Feel free to take amazing pictures while jumping off the shipwreck.

For scuba diving we recommend  Neal Watson Bimini Scuba Center . They are professional, patient and can accommodate divers of all levels.

Quick tips:

  • not recommended for pregnant women
  • have your waterproof camera or GoPro handy
  • make sure you have plenty of snorkel equipment onboard
  • you do not need experience to snorkel

catamaran charter miami to bahamas

BIG GAME FISHING

All year round in Bimini is perfect for  Big Game Fishing , however there are certain seasons for specific fish like Wahoo, mackerel, white and blue marlin, tuna, grouper, snapper, and barracuda. No wonder Bimini earns the title of “ sports fishing capital of the world ”.

The best way to enjoy this trip is on a properly equipped fishing boat with a professional crew to assist you and your guests, ensuring an authentic fishing experience in Bimini.

  • game fishing chart to help for certain seasonal fish
  • professional fishing crew is highly recommended
  • plenty of food and drinks, and sunblock
  • early morning fishing is the best time

catamaran charter miami to bahamas

WATER ACTIVITIES

Being a small island, Bimini is surrounded by  unreal turquoise waters  which makes it a perfect location to relax in the sun on the pristine white beaches. Or for the more adventurous, there is also  kayaking ,  paddle board ,  snorkeling ,  scuba   diving  and  jet skiing . Your chartered yacht is fully equipped for water activities, but if anything is missing our crew will make sure to get it to you in no time!

catamaran charter miami to bahamas

GOLF CART HOP ON, HOP OFF

Bimini is so small that renting a car is neither necessary nor an option. You can make your way around North Bimini in  less than 30 minutes by golf cart.  There are more than 10 golf cart rental companies on the island, making it easy to rent one for the day.   Do as the locals and take a short, leisurely drive to the corner store, or to eat at one of the many restaurants (pass by Bimini  Big John’s Bar & Grill) , head to the beach, or try your luck at the casino. The locals are incredibly nice and welcoming, always ready to give advice for the best local food and live music. There is also a daily ferry service between North and South Bimini, though you will find more to do on the North side.

Enhance your experience

Whatever the reason for your boat charter, we will be sure to make it special! We offer a broad range of additional services to make your time spent on one of our yachts unforgettable. Think of us as a  concierge service , available to meet the needs of your special day.

Every moment on your chartered yacht is meant to be spent enjoying the sights, sea and sun, while relaxing with your special guests. With this in mind, we have a selection of “add-ons” for your onboard enjoyment (also feel free to bring your own).

PLANNING YOUR TRIP TO BIMINI

Typical departure from Miami is early  in the morning around 9am, for timely arrival in Bimini to clear customs ( passports needed ). You should be ready to pick up your golf cart at the marina by 2pm. We will make sure marina dockage and golf cart are reserved so you can enjoy and relax from the moment you arrive. Drive around the Island and pass by  Joe’s Conch Shack  have their famous conch salad and you may even catch them cleaning and prepping it (see picture below).  Conch  is the most famous seafood dish in Bimini so you may also want to try Stuarts delicious conch salad.

You can go around the island and stop by the beaches for a swim, stop by a shack and enjoy a local Kalik beer while enjoying the view of pastel colored wooden homes and breathe in the fresh ocean air. Once you finished exploring it’s time to go back to the marina, relax on your boat and get ready for dinner. You may choose a fancy dinner at  Sabor restaurant  inside the Hilton Resorts World Bimini or a local laid back option like  Edith’s Pizza , which serves a lot more than pizza. Finish your night at the  Casino  at Hilton Resorts World Bimini. Or, if it’s a weekend, you may relax by the marina listening to live band music. Or, one of our weekend favorites is  Big John’s Bar & Grill,  which was just remodeled in April 2017

Let’s get the engine started and move the boat towards the area where  dolphins  like to hang around. If we’re lucky, you will be able to see some and even swim with them. We just ask that you keep in mind they are wild mammals and you should always take precautions.

We will mostly likely stop by the SSS Sapona Shipwreck by South Bimini, where you may enjoy amazing  snorkeling . If your chartered yacht is equipped with a  jet ski , this is the time to hop on one and take it around the shipwreck, jump in the water to snorkel and capture beautiful pictures to share back home.

On 2-night trips, we can take you to  a private island called Cat Cay , located only 10 miles away from Bimini. Here visitors are permitted to moor for no more than 24 hours. Enjoy some fine cuisine at Nauticat Restaurant or Bu’s Bar for a more relaxed atmosphere.

The island is managed by Cat Cay Yacht Club and non-members may only visit accompanied by members. For a private tour for membership inquiries or more information, please visit their website.

CHOOSING A BOAT

Now let’s choose the  perfect boat for you . It all depends how many guests are joining you and if you are planning to sleep on the boat or in a hotel.

We can help you choose from a medium size vessel like a  54’ Sea Ray Sundancer  with 2 rooms or a  64’ Azimut  with 3 staterooms. For fishing aficionados, we have a  50’ or a 60’ Hatteras  fishing boat so you can enjoy Big Game Fishing.

Do you have a bigger budget in mind? We recommend a  75’ Sunseeker Manhattan  which is ultra comfortable and luxurious equipped with all the amenities you may need. If you decide you rather stay overnight in a hotel than your chartered vessel, we can recommend one of our partner’s resorts.

Fishing charters are permitted for no more than 6 guests by law.

Bimini

Bimini Yacht Charters

Bimini yacht charters offer the perfect luxury vacation.

Bimini, situated east of Miami, Florida in the Bahamas, is a true island paradise, perfect for yacht charters. The Gulf Stream, with its warm waters and extensive sea life, flows north of the island providing the opportunity to Bimini yacht charter guests to spot dolphins, marlin, sea turtles, and manta rays.

Bimini consists of North and South Bimini islands. The main settlement of Alice Town, located on North Bimini, has shops, restaurants, and taverns along the main strip known as “The King’s Highway.” Many yacht charters in the Bahamas come to this beautiful location for the big-game fish, but the islands have so much more to offer.

Explore with a Yacht Charter: Bimini

Exotic, unspoiled, and captivating, Bimini offers any yacht charter guests the perfect island retreat for a romantic honeymoon , luxury vacation, or corporate retreat. Pinkish gold sand offsets the cobalt waters of this stunning island paradise, ready-made for a variety of blissful beachside excursions. Swim on secluded beaches, snorkel in a cluster of tropical fish, or simply soak in the rays of the sun while listening to island birdsong.

Calm waters, warm air, and large colonies of dolphins provide the perfect backdrop for spending the day under a summery sky. Or if you’d rather, journey to the local hotspots where the rum flows and island music entertains. Shopping and sunset bars offer the opportunity to take a respite from lounging on your yacht’s deck. But don’t linger too long inside…the pleasures of Bimini are embedded in the tropical landscape of this heavenly escape.

Things to Do & See on Your Bimini Charter

An isolated isle in Bimini

Scuba Diving

Snorkeling and diving yacht charters are popular in Bimini due to the vast array of marine life along the miles of coral reefs. Many shipwrecks in the area offer stunning underwater dive sites. The SS Sapona , for instance, was caught in a hurricane in 1926. It ran aground, leaving the top of the ship above water with the rest submerged. Some of the wood was stripped and used to build the Compleat Angler Hotel and Bar. Other interesting dive sites include “Bimini Road,” purportedly part of Atlantis, and the Gulf Stream drop-off, where the ocean floor drops an amazing 2,000 feet.

The Fountain of Youth

On North Bimini in a saltwater swamp surrounded by mangrove trees is “The Healing Hole,” a mineral-filled freshwater pool that is surrounded by winding underground tunnels. However, it is within the shallow pools of South Bimini that Juan Ponce de León found the fabled Fountain of Youth .

Shark Mounds

These sand dunes are formed in a variety of animal shapes, including the shark. Even though the animals can only been seen while flying over the islands, early maps depict the dune shapes. Controversy about the origin of the Shark Mounds exists still today.

Visit the Hemingway Museum on Your Bimini Yacht Charter

Ernest Hemingway moved to Bimini in 1935 to spend his days fishing and writing. He wrote To Have And Have Not here as well as his unfinished manuscript, In The Stream. The museum, located in the lounge of the Compleat Angler Hotel, features pictures and writings from his two-year stay here.

Explore Bimini Beaches

Of course, yacht charter guests love the beaches of Bimini. These unpolluted, soft, white sandy beaches are of the best in the Bahamas. The blue, clear water caresses the edge of the beach. The breeze is delightful and the sun is a smile in the sky. Remote beaches, such as Bimini Bay, Porgy Bay, and Paradise Point, are favorites of charterers.

Swim with Dolphins

Wild Atlantic Spotted Dolphins were found in the mid-1990s to have taken up residence in the warm salty waters of Bimini. It’s not uncommon for these enchanting creatures to come close during a swim or want to nestle nearby. No dive or snorkel equipment needed.

Big Game Fishing

Big game fishing is legendary in Bimini, home to one of the most historical fishing spots in the Bahamas chain known as Out Islands. Catch a 12-pound bonefish, blue marlin, or otherworldly giant gold and blue yellowfin tuna while on your Bahamian adventure. And don’t be surprised if you find a shark at the end of your fishing line.

Miami Yacht Term Charter – Bimini, Bahamas

Here’s your chance to get away from the mainland with an adventure to bimini..

Miami Yacht Term Charter - Bimini, Bahamas

Bimini Bay Beach Resort Casino Bimini Bay Marina Bimini Shipwreck Snorkeling and Scuba Swim with Dolphins Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth

When you charter a yacht to the Bahamas , you’ll visit a chain of tiny islands situated just west of the Bahamas that are merely a three hour boat ride away from South Beach, Miami. Bimini is rich in history, culture and is home to many landmarks that can be visited only by boat. Known for its laid back lifestyle, crystal clear water, pristine white sandy beaches and picturesque nature trails, visitors are pleasantly surprised with the many activities waiting to be explored. If you’re a diver or snorkeler, Bimini offers some of the finest aqua experiences around. Swim up close with wild dolphins and stingrays, or explore the age old remains of a mysterious shipwreck.

One of the most well known tourist destinations in the area is Underwater Bimini Road; an unusual rock formation that dates back centuries and is believed to be the remnants of an ancient human built road. Located near Bimini Road is what some people believe to be Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth. Locals call this pool of water the Healing Hole which lies at the end of a network of underground tunnels that pump cool, fresh water during outgoing tides.

Explore this beautiful island chain on a Chartered Yacht Vacation that you’ll never forget. We recommend spending two days in Bimini to experience the full atmosphere of the island and landmarks. We also recommend booking a stay at Bimini Bay Resort & Marina (www.rwbimini.com) for awesome restaurants and a Casino to try your luck!

Take a Private Boat to the Bahamas from Fort Lauderdale

The Bahamas is unsurprisingly a highly sought-after travel destination for millions of tourists globally. The lush landscape, crystal clear waters, and thriving ecosystem make it a wonder for anyone living in a city.  Each year, nearly six million tourists visit the islands via packed cruise ships or spartan ferries. 

A spectacular destination deserves to be experienced at one’s leisure. As such, we offer trips on a private boat from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas, allowing you to experience the islands on your own time.

It’s hard to do better than a boat trip to Bimini. This little island in the Bahamas is a dazzling jewel sitting in the middle of pristine azure waters. A favorite of famous figures such as Ernest Hemingway, the island will enchant anyone with its beauty. 

Located just 50 nautical miles offshore, we offer the best way to get a boat from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas. The trip to Bimini from Fort Lauderdale should take only 2-3 hours on a powered vessel or a day on sail. Once there, take command of the day.

The island’s vibrant coral reefs are home to a rainbow of tropical fish and other exotic sea creatures. After swimming with the dolphins, adventure to the legendary Bimini Road, believed by some to be remnants of the lost city of Atlantis, offering an intriguing underwater mystery to unravel.

Take advantage of the Bahamas trip from Fort Lauderdale and enjoy local Bahamian cuisine at waterfront restaurants, savoring the freshest seafood and tropical fruits.

Our boat to the Bahamas from Fort Lauderdale is personalized to your needs. Whether you are looking for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, we’ll ensure that your trip to Bimini will be one you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Things to Do In Bimini

While the island of Bimini may be small, it is densely packed with many things to do. Here are some things you can enjoy on your private Bimini trip from Fort Lauderdale.

  • Lounge On The Beaches. The Bahamas are renowned for their beaches. Radio Beach is a particularly popular spot for anyone looking for the quintessential island beach experience.
  • Explore The SS Sapona. Ran aground in 1926, the SS Sapona is a local landmark and serves as an artificial reef, making it a great spot to explore.
  • Find The Fountain of Youth. Bimini is home to what Juan Ponce de Leon believed was the Fountain of Youth. Today, the freshwater pool is honored with a plaque, allowing visitors to experience it themselves.
  • Dine on Fresh Seafood. Taking any private boat from Fort Lauderdale to Bimini would be a waste if you don’t sample the variety of fresh seafood on offer.
  • Uncover the Mysteries of Bimini Road. A 600-foot-long submerged road extends off the coast of Bimini. There is still no consensus on whether the formation is natural or a man-made product of some ancient civilization, such as the mythical city of Atlantis. Regardless of origin, it’s a popular snorkeling tour for anyone visiting the island.
  • See the Resort.  Bimini is home to a huge resort that offers day affordable day passes. Chill by the pool, enjoy the ongoing parties and events, and try your luck at table games.

Private Yacht Charter from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas

If you want to experience paradise for longer than one day, you can take advantage of our charter boat from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas for an extended week-long excursion through the islands.

With extra time to explore, you can see a selection of islands and plan the ultimate Bahamas trip. Below are some of the most popular islands to see on a charter boat from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas.

Harbour Island

Famous for its Pink Sands Beach, Harbour Island is a picturesque retreat boasting rosy-hued shorelines. This charming island offers a laid-back atmosphere, delightful local boutiques, and a range of water activities. Enjoy the unique blend of Bahamian culture and colonial home charm.

A tropical paradise known for its breathtaking blue holes, the Exuma Cays are home to the iconic swimming pigs who are more than happy to take any food off your hands.

Grand Bahamas

Home to Freeport, Grand Bahama Island offers a mix of contemporary living and natural beauty. Explore Lucayan National Park’s caves and mangroves, unwind on Gold Rock Beach, and experience the lively atmosphere of the International Bazaar in Freeport.

A boater’s dream destination, the Abaco Islands feature charming colonial towns like Hope Town and Marsh Harbour. With a stunning palette of turquoise waters, coral reefs, and cays, the Abacos provide an ideal setting for boating, diving, and island hopping.
